Exclamation Does the Throttle close on shifts ??? WTF!!!

I just had my CAI installed today, and now that the intake is louder I noticed that in between shifts, the throatty sound from the intake goes away. I think the throttle body closes in between shifts???
To make sure it was not VSA related, I removed fuses 17 & 18 from the engine bay fuse box, so I could fully disable the VSA. After that I test drove the car, and I still noticed the bog in between shifts. ( BTW my UA6 is Automatic! )

Has anyone else experienced this?

Is this normal?

and if it is, can we fix it?

maybe by reflashing the computer or something?????

Any feedbacks on this are welcome!

It's normal and is there to save the transmission and improve shift quality. I personally don't care if it shifts a little hard but after the problems the previous generation had with transmissions, I welcome anything that can help it live a little longer. Besides, now we can use fluids other than Z1 and not worry about harsh shifts like previous Honda products.
